How is the action of the pacemaker is related to the symptoms of heart block and fibrillation?
In a Cardiac condition known as heart block, there is an interruption in the message from the SA node to the AV node. The interruption can occur in varying degrees.
What are considered the optimum results of a pacemaker implant procedure?
Pacemakers that are properly implanted and programmed can correct a patient's arrhythmia and resolve related symptoms.
Can a pacemaker cause neuropathy?
A pacemaker itself is unlikely to cause neuropathy directly, as it primarily regulates heart rhythms rather than affecting the nervous system. However, complications related to the implantation of a pacemaker, such as nerve damage or improper positioning, could potentially lead to neuropathy in rare cases. Other underlying health conditions that necessitate a pacemaker might also contribute to neuropathic symptoms. If neuropathy occurs, it is essential to consult a healthcare provider to identify the underlying cause.

What is the medical term meaning abnormal heart rhythm that causes the ventricles to quiver?
Atrial fibrillation is the medical term meaning the irregular, uncoordinated, ineffective twitching contraction of the walls of the atria. A related condition is ventricular fibrillation, which occurs in the lower chambers of the heart.
What causes weakness and breaking out in a cold sweat when you have a pacemaker?
Weakness and breaking out in a cold sweat with a pacemaker can be caused by several factors, including improper pacing due to lead displacement or malfunction, which may lead to inadequate heart function. Additionally, issues like medication side effects, low blood pressure, or underlying heart conditions can contribute to these symptoms. Stress or anxiety related to the presence of the pacemaker might also play a role. It's important to consult a healthcare professional to determine the specific cause and appropriate treatment.
Hi again, Gene. Atri?
Hi again, Gene. Atrial fibrillation is generally associated with increased morbidity and mortality, and much of this is due to its relationship with ischemic stroke and cardiac disease like heart failure. Among men, estimates range from 1.3-3.5 times more likely for strokes, cardiovascular events (e.g. heart attack), heart failure and death. In your case, however, your risks are probably lower and may even approximate those of people without atrial fibrillation; this is because you have lone atrial fibrillation (at least by some criteria-it is more commonly diagnosed among younger people). Lone atrial fibrillation is diagnosed when no underlying cause or related illness, like heart disease or diabetes, can be found. Because your atrial fibrillation is unassociated with any other symptoms or findings of heart disease, and because you are a non-smoker without obesity or hypertension, your prognosis is better than that of atrial fibrillation in general. The Pradaxa you take is to further reduce your risk of having a stroke.
Can you work with Atrial fibrillation?
Yes, I can provide information and guidance on atrial fibrillation (AFib), including its causes, symptoms, treatment options, and management strategies. AFib is a common heart rhythm disorder characterized by irregular and often rapid heartbeats, which can increase the risk of stroke and other heart-related complications. It's essential for individuals with AFib to work closely with healthcare professionals for proper diagnosis and personalized treatment plans. If you have specific questions or need further details, feel free to ask!
Can you use a cell phone with a pacemaker?
Yes, you can generally use a cell phone with a pacemaker, as modern pacemakers are designed to withstand electromagnetic interference. However, it's recommended to keep the phone at least six inches away from the pacemaker while in use. Always consult your healthcare provider for specific guidelines related to your device and personal health.
